  • @olivieonardo.....1984 is different from 1985.

  • @rtmeador No, they were both nominated in 1985 and William Hurt won. But I regret the words I've used.

  • I just finished reading the book today for school and fell in love with it. I had no idea there was movie. Imagine how excited I was when i say it on netflix XD

  • There is something in this film that I never forget: When they make love.

  • @FantasmitaIgnoto Yes so true! So surprising and sooo...well, I can only say memorable. That and the ending. I will never forget.

  • ayer termine de leer el libroo!! esta buenisimo pero muy gay en algunas partes jajaja

  • How can a shit like William Hurt in this film win the BAFTA competing with F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus?

  • Comment removed

  • @olivleonardo How dare you speak ill will of such a fine performance!

  • @missfabulesso You're right, it's just because I like F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus.

  • @olivleonardo i haven't seen Amadeus, so I guess I'm just as biased :) I'll have to watch it then!

  • @olivleonardo Too hard words to judge a great actor and a great performance as this Richard Hurt played in this movie. Do you know anything about acting? Well, I do. And any person who knows anything about acting would never call shit the work William Hurt did in this movie.

  • @MilosBrune You're right, I'm regretful.

  • Does anyone know the music that plays throughout the trailer? its so beautiful

  • I think the police may have felt Molina was gonna jeopardise the whole 'mission' as such. by pairing up with valentins crew, the police attacked on the basis that they believed he had identified the actual group they were after all along. he gets shot by the rebels because they obviously know he is a threat to them either way - clearer? the whole point of valentins morphine enticed dreams is to give him the sanctity he knows he shall never get in life as long as he is in prison, so his dreams a

  • This was such a beautiful book, I hope the movie is just as extraordinary!

  • Though about a South or Central American country (filmed in Brazil), it could be a tale of how any nation can sink to the depravity of fascism. It is a great performance by all three main characters, and speaks volumes about how we must overcome our indifference and prejudices in order to stay free.  The strength of a people and a nation rests on their own inner core values, not on those imposed upon them from those in power. Treating each other with respect no matter our differences.

  • I MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!

  • como es posible que Jon Voight perdiera el oscar de esta película. El tren del infierno, explosiva y poderosa, voigth no podía hablar en los descanso del set con su compañeros, porque estabas metido y cansado dentro del personaje de manny.

    igual Eric Roberts, hay cosas que no se explican.

  • A Brazilian-American movie, filmed entirely in Sao Paulo (Brazil), starred by Brazilian actress Sonia Braga, the American actor William Hurt, and Raul Julia ( Puerto Rican actor). An wonderful movie!

  • I just watched this movie and I loved it to pieces. But the ending confused to me. I don't understand why Luis (Hurt) sets up a rendezvous with the police and why they all start shooting at him. And the last scene where Valentin (Julia) gets shot up with morphine after being brutally beaten by his captors and dreams of his one true love. It seems awfully depressing because Valentin's just gonna wake up and get tortured some more. But mostly I don't understand why Luis get shot. Somebody explain?

  • God I love this movie so much

  • Here William Hurt secures himself at the top of the art of film acting. Couldn't be a more particular character and yet he embodies all humanity. I have never seen as fascinating a theatrical style film performance which is perfect, perfectly true and poetically true. No performance more brave,vulnerable, or beautiful. A perfect miracle.

  • this is one of the best films ever made

  • William Hurt is so grossly miscast. What an insult to give him an Oscar. He sounds like he's from Ohio and looks about as Hispanic as Dick Cheney. He looked particuarly silly next to Sonia Braga and Raul Julia and acts catatonic. What an awful performance.

  • @roccoh21 i respectfually disagree with you

  • wow, i need to watch this movie

  • I remember the police chief from the film. He was one fucking homophobic bastard nigger.

    The character, of course, not the actor. The actor did a brilliant job as the homophobe.

  • @Visonu, yeah, and he was a brasilian, just like me, brasil have agreat potencial in the movie industry, a shame that we only talk about our very own problems.

  • Raul Julia, William Hurt,and Sonia Braga what more can anyone ask for. William Hurt is one hell of an actor, one of the best in the bussines......

    Raul Julia, i still miss you.

  • Its the best movie I ever saw. bring a box of tissues

  • This film is one of the finest ever made.

  • @larjenn1

    I want to see this movie. I just finished reading the book, and it's the saddest book I've ever read. The absence of attribution is very effective. I love that there's no "he said" this or "he did that" because without those instructions telling you who says and does what, it forces the reader to pay closer attention to the dialogue. I fell for Molina and Valentin. And if you read the book, you can find out who the Spider woman is and how she's poetically described.

  • @kinglear did you read it for the ib?

  • What's "ib"?

  • @kinglear international baccalaureate, it's an intense high school diploma...

  • @ReyRob12

    Oh ok. but no I didn't read it for that, I just read for my own personal pleasure.

  • Es una bella obra de arte llevada al cine,independientemente del tema.

  • For years i always thought that this was a horror film. I remember a huge cardboard fim stand of the front cover of the movie in my local video shop. When i was a kid i used to avoid looking at it.

  • I thought the same thing as a child! Glad I got to see it as an adult though!

  • As an argentinian man, i'm so proud of belonging to the same land as Manuel Puig, one of the greatest writers we had. "Kiss of the Spider Woman" is one of the sgtrongest texts ever writen, and this movie is pure poetry and beauty about that text.

  • @arieloteplus

    Yes and I love the fact that there's no attribution in the novel. It forces you to pay more attention to the dialogue, from the adjectives used and who the dialogue best belongs to, logically.

  • @arieloteplus

    Id much rather be a Canadian, however, Canada will never in a thousand years put out a writer as good as Maneul Puig. Maybe in ten thousand years we will come close.

  • Was it filmed in Argentina?

  • Brasil

  • can you please upload the whole movie? the opening music of the film is great, most Mysterious. and william hurt's excellent. raul julia as well.

  • Great film. So sad :(

  • @missbabyice

    I would be proud too. Manuel Puig is absolutely brillian beyond words.

    He is what I call the one who has been touched by God, when he wrote this story.

    I wish Canada had such writers.

  • does anyone know whats the name of the song in this trailer?

  • I cried at the end of this movie...

  • Saw Raul Julia years ago as Othello in Central Park. Good actor. Rest in peace, Raul.

  • great movie...amazing book.

    both are unforgettable.

  • Great movie and story. The two characters, so diverse, sharing a prison cell creates a great story. Well done.

  • what is the name of the song?

  • O filme deve ser ótimo mas o trailer é pessimo .

  • viva argentina!

  • what wonderful film that have the political story William Hurt  gives his best role ever and film have a deep thinking a great film.

  • I have never seen this film but we did have to read the novel for Modern Critical theory class. Brilliant!!
